For Her Bairdness




Mark Peckmenzian has some interesting work (though I can't discern whether my interest is purely aesthetic or whether he, indeed, has an intellectual inspiration for me to eventually realize). His Photographic Portrait Series II and III reminded me much of Baird's striving for an aesthetically and, at times, intellectually functional 'intermediary'.

Baird, I'll echo here what I wrote in my earlier response to your new work: seek, if only as experiment, to introduce an intermediary or six to, for example, personal symbols. Symbols are inherently cryptic and/or sacred (and, therefore, jarred or contained or safely displayed). Photographing such things behind any such intermediary may be the perfect aesthetic and intellectual pairing.
